Stalkers

Bye, guys. Thanks for coming.

Drive safe.

What a mess. Okay.

-Oh, shoot. -It is now.

I got this.

Charlie, time for bed.

Charlie!

-Gotcha! -Dad!

Easy pickings.

Time for bed, Charlie.

You heard the lady.

Fine.

You guys had fun?

Three leads, four hours of small talk.

- Come on; it was a hoot! - It's so lame.

Her birthday's coming up.

Don't remind me.

We said we'd tell her when she turned 13.

Still think that's a good idea?

She's a strong kid. Just like her dad.

Yeah, that's it.

You know what I mean.

I'm gonna take the bins out.

Come on, hon, lights out.

Don't do that: sneaking up on me!

Have you been watching scary movies again?

-No. -Mm-hmm?

I'm not eight, Mom.

You're still gonna get a kiss when I come back up.

Gross.

Were you guys watching "Black Christmas?"

You know that stuff gives Charlie nightmares.

Mom?

Dad?

Guys, this isn't funny!

Good.

Yes, that's hot.

Just like that, yeah.

You feeling that, Eden?

Okay, I am.

Yes.

What the fuck?

Okay, cut.

Let's take five.

We'll pick that up in a couple of minutes.

Everybody!

There are fresh sandwiches at the craft table.

Give me good news.

Sandwiches?

PB and J's not good news.

We're two hours behind!

Tell me that Tabitha's ready to shoot this scene.

She's, um, in a mood.

Great. This is her fucking movie.

She wants to talk to you.

You wanted to see me?

What made you think two scenes today was a good idea?

Because that's what we do. We're making a movie.

Let's go. The fans await.

What fans?

No one watches this shit anymore!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

That's not true.

Stand up.

This ass, this beautiful ass, just ugh.

Okay.

You know, when I first met you,

-I bought stock in-- -Stock in Kleenex, I know.

Well, it's true.

Yeah, it was a hard year, Tabby.

Now, we gotta focus on you, Tabitha Swann.

You had a great fucking career.

Rob, I've had a great career... fuckin .

Yeah, well, you're good at it. What else can you do?

Good point.

Look, I didn't wanna psych you out,

but I have the guy from Red Light coming by tomorrow.

- Magnus? - Yep.

- Tomorrow. - Uh-huh.

And he wants to meet you, most of all.

So we'll cancel today and we'll reschedule.

You do whatever you gotta do

to get your head straight for tomorrow,

because tomorrow, me and you together,

we're gonna meet Magnus,

and big things are coming, babe.

They're ready for you on set, Rob.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Two for you, and three for me.

Cheers, Stella.

Ugh, whatever.

Please.

Fuck, Rob, can you just give me some space?

Um, hi?

Is this Kate?

Sorry?

I'm looking for Kate Swanson.

Uh, that's me.

Kate!

Ah, I'm so glad I tracked you down.

It's Justine.

Williams?

We went to Marion High together.

Justine, I don't--

Geez, Kate.

We were on squad together.

Yes, it's the Husketeers.

My bad.

It's like a lifetime ago, right?

I'm not calling to catch up.

Okay?

I work in child services now.

I have a girl in care, Charlotte Patterson.

She's 12.

Her parents were murdered a week ago.

That's awful.

The thing is... Martha and Ted... that's her parents.

They adopted Charlotte.

She's 12 now,

turning 13 at the end of the month.

I don't really know how to say this, Kate,

but you're her mother.

Her birth mother.

It looks like Charlotte doesn't have

ny other family except for you.a

Are you still with me?

Yeah, I'm-I'm listening.

Would you consider-- Kate?

I-- it's been so long. I never--

I know it's a lot.

But if you don't take her,

Charlotte's gonna go into foster care.

I can't do this.

I'm sorry, I'm not mother material.

Believe me.

She needs you.

I gotta go.

Yeah, this is good. This is good, turn.

Good. You look like whores, but I love it.

I like it, okay.

-Love it. -When Magnus gets here,

be nice. Like really nice.

-Yeah. Mm-hm. -Okay?

There she is.

Where were you?

You guys know Tabitha?

Oh my God, no.

Hi, I'm Corrine.

Pleasure.

Hi.

It's like meeting Mother Teresa.

Okay, nice to meet you.

Magnus is here, so let's just keep it tight, ladies.

Hey, Mags!

We're gonna have to take this up later.

Magnus, please.

The girls.

So you got Corrine and then Eden

and then of course, Miss Tabitha Swann.

Miss Swann.

I'm Magnus.

Tabitha.

Lovely.

Rob and I have been talking about a picture.

I told her about the picture, Mags.

I'm thinking of Bermuda weekend

with Ayat Franco.

Maybe Christy White.

Yeah, I'd love to be a part of that.

Yes, you would.

I miss the old days.

We don't make enough real movies anymore.

It's all gonzo.

Amateurs, webcams.

We're still here.

I'd like to run through a few things.

Test your range.

Anything for the movie.

Don't worry, Mags; Tabby does it all.

Magnus.

I just wanna know for myself.

Have a seat.

I don't bite.

You've been around the block, Tabitha.

Me?

I've seen a lot.

I've done more.

It takes a lot to impress me.

Do you think you can...

impress me?

Yes.

Yes?

Yes, Daddy.

Good girl.

So, we gonna make a picture?

Oh, yes.

She's just what I was looking for.

My lawyer will call tomorrow.

Hey.

Fucking Kleenex.
